Which motor is best?
Hello, don't know much about electric motors but I'm installing a solar energy system on my home and it got me all excited about electrical stuff. I'm thinking about converting my work car, 2005 Honda CRV, to electric. I have a huge electric motor from a rotary 3-phase convertor that I don't use any more was planning to sell, it's #400 and what I keep reading is get a heavy motor for ev conversion, I'll include a picture. I also have a Hyster E120XL3 forklift that weighs about 20K lbs, I imagine that's a big electric motor, it has a dead battery which is pretty expensive to replace so I'm considering using that drive motor if it is optimal. From all my reading online, sounds like I would need to have the motor rewound, high voltage like 600-800v, I don't know how many slots the stator has. I drive about 50 miles per day, some areas with short steep hills, don't know the degrees but they wouldn't be fun to walk up, so how big of a battery pack would be a minimum, sounds like lithium ion is the way to go, I would build myself not just purchase. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
